hearn family - stuck need some help please

[liver007]

I know it is easy to give up on tracing family but I am afraid I might have gone down the wrong track regarding my side of the family tree (Hearn),  I have gone as far as I can to:


John Hearn - Mary Durant   I am OK with the Durrant side of the family
DOB: 1771 Suffolk
Died: 27 April 1840
Worlingworth Suffolk
1832 Living in Earl Soham Suffolk
I just cant get further back in the family line Beyond John I do need some help ..I know John and Mary married on the 23 April 1799 I do not have a copy of their marriage cert and as such don't know John's fathers details


Thank you Keith Hearn

Fathers details will not be on the 1799 Marriage. If you are lucky you may get witnesses names.

The 1840 Death for John.
GRO has him as age 65 (1775)

As he died before 1841 Census (6 June) it is hard to know if he was born in Suffolk.

Thanks for the date of 1775 Trish

Closest I can find is

John Hearn baptised 15 January 1776 Boxford, parents John and Frances

I notice that on the entry I have found for his marriage to Mary, it gives his parish as Yoxford. I wonder if that is a mistake in transcription.

Yes it certainly looks like the same John Hearn..

It is interesting because reaching other members of the Hearn family Yoxford comes up frequently

Could Boxford be a transcript error for Yoxford ??
